Khreschatyk (Main Shopping Street), Kiev
Nowadays Kreschatik ranges among the major attractions of Kiev. The citizens of the city adore this street, and the guests of Kiev try to visit it and feel its charming atmosphere first of all. Such Kreschatik buildings as Kiev City Council, Central Department Store, National Philharmonic, as well as other administrative constructions, stores, hotels and metro stations deserve special attention of Kiev guests.Almost all international brands have their shops in this street.

The Central Department Store is located directly in the central street of the capital and has lots of departments. It has always attracted crowds of people.
There are a lot of other modern shops in Khreshchatyk - just go into one of them, choose whatever you like, pay and go!
So easy!
I wish you happy shopping, friends!

So, as I notices, there lots of tables with scraped names, symbols, messeges... and stuff nevermind if you also have a hand in making tables more cute. Use your forks, keys,...
Khutorok is maybe one of the best restaurant in Kiev with typical Ukranian food . The restaurant is a boat and I suggest you to make reservation before visiting otherwise it will be difficult to find a table with the river view Vodka and salyutka plus all kind of grilled meat
My favorite mexican restaurants are Tequila House and Arizona BBQ. Both are situated on Podil. Great interior design. Real mexican kitchen. Cocktails parties, discounts, happy hours, bizarre service party every year.
As you walk down St.Andrew's Descent, you will see this beautiful ethnic restaurant at 34 St.Andrew's Descent. You will recognize it by a nice little bronze statue of Eros at the entrance. The restaurant is called Za Dvoma Zaytsyamy in Ukrainian. The menu includes Ukrainian, Russian and European...
The cafe is located next to the old famous Samson's Fountain in Lower Kiev, not far from Contract Square metro station. The Samson Fountain dates back to 1840.
